Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement concerns transport services for Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, the public-sector buyer associated with Kingston upon Thames. The requirement falls within general passenger and transport services rather than goods, construction or waste transport. The selected supplier is a minicab business based in London, indicating that the work involves the organisation and delivery of passenger transport rather than the supply of vehicles or transport infrastructure. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and linked to the buyer’s public-service activities. The available description does not set out specific passenger groups, routes, vehicle types or operating requirements, so its relevance is strongest for transport operators and minicab providers able to deliver services for a local-authority buyer in the London and Kingston area.

The procurement has reached the completed award stage. It used an open procedure, with price carrying the full stated evaluation weighting; quality-related attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric were also listed but assigned no weighting. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while an active award was made to Herts and London Minicabs Limited Limited. The award date was 25 August 2026 and its value was £2,834.29. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and is recorded as active at £2,834.29. Eighteen bids were recorded for the lot. No contract duration or end date is provided. The buyer is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston.

This award shows that the buyer has used an open, highly price-led route to procure a small-scale minicab or passenger-transport requirement, attracting 18 bids. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate passenger transport services, understand public-sector purchasing and submit a competitive price. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, so the opportunity was not limited to a large national transport company. Providers should be able to demonstrate practical capability in arranging and delivering reliable journeys for a local-authority-related buyer, with suitable vehicles, drivers, dispatch arrangements and service controls. The evaluation structure indicates that commercial pricing would be central, while capability and qualifications would need to support rather than outweigh the price submission.
